Another stupid Wintel-Freak. The kind of multitasking doesnt matter, 
when the multitasking on the mac is a lot faster as on the old wintels 
under Win95. 32 bit is a Mac standard since 1989. You know, that was the 
time, when your awkward Win 3.0 was presented.
Multiprocessing is a standard since 1995. Does you even know what 
multiprocessing means ? :o)
Win95 was overall a flop in europe. Worldwide it floped at the offices. 
No SysAdmin install this system. Begin to read your own wintel 
magazines, than you know this plain facts.
